It Stares us in the face that the outstanding obligation of Sullivan County on the Ist of January 1902, amounted to $63,433,48, as follows: Bonds 838,000.00 1 merest bearing 0rder5.20.052.90 Judgements. 5,380.49 Total 8ti3.433.48 The Sullivan Gazette says: ''Sup pose the question of the taxes should come tip as it did last win ter \s lien the present board of com missioners met with the attorneys of the Union Tanning Co.. time after time, in regard to the assess ment of the Co's. timber lands iti Sullivan county.'" The editor of the Gazette seems to be well informed: will he now goon and tell his readers what was the result of these meetings of the county commissioners with the at torneys of the Union Tanning Co. time after time? We have been informed by one of the assessors that at the trienn ial assessment, all the assessors of the county met at Laporte, and at the request of the Commissioners, assembled in the Grand Jury room to lix a valuation on the unseated lands. They agreed unanimously to assess the stripped lands at two dollars per acre, and the timbered lands at twenty dollars per acre, and reported this agreement to the Commissioners, who seemed well satisfied with it. Afterwards the Commissioners reduced the valua tion on the timbered lands to twelve dollars per acre. Now let the well informed editor tell the tax payers what influences were brought to bear on the Commission ers by the attorneys of the Union Tanning Co., to take off two-fifth of the valuation put on their tim bered lands by the assessors of the county. Two of these Commiss ioners were Democrats and neither one of them was running" a black smith shop or a store. What assurance have we that the present nominees of the Demo cratic convention will not be influ enced by the Attorneys of the Un ion Tanning Co. in the same man ner. F.dttor Newell of the Review, no tices our article which shows the steady increase of the county debt, and makes it the occasion to refer to his prophecy that the grandfather of Ihe child is yet unborn who will live to see the debt paid. He is such a good prophet that we invite him to make another. Let him now tell us whether the debt will increase or diminish during the term of the three Commissioners the people will elect this fall. The disastrous condition of affairs that followed democratic tariff re form in contrast with the unpreced ented prosperity of republican rule presents an issue that does not require argument. \Y. K. Lord whose name appears on our ticket for the short term in Congress will be the man to elect to insure a continuance of this industrial progress. Give him your ►uppwrt. He is needed in Congress. "1 believe it proper for every one elected to a place of trust to exercise | his own ideas of duty after having I, counciled with all parties interest- i ed."—Roger's Convention Speeth: j| By this are we to understand that I on the Franchise bill (which Scouten J says was the most villianous legisla- ji tion ever passed in this country) Mr. I Rogers deemed it hlsduty to consult those interested before casting his vote? What party in interest did he I consult after voting for the amend- | ment to kill the bill and what were | the arguments used to make him vote against all other amendments | and for the bill on final passage? We ask the voters of Sullivan county whether they propose to elect a man whose record on a corporation | bill is, that first he was opposed to J it.and then leaving the Legislative Hall for a few minutes changed his mind and give his vote along with Corporate interests. If he did this once would he not do it again? Can he be trusted? Let honest Demo crats and Republicans answer this by voting for Albert L. Dyer. In the news columns of the Phil delphia Press appears the following article from a Harrisburg corres pondent. which has a particular interest to Sullivan county voters: '•The State Legislative Board of Railroad Employees on Sept. 2. passed resolutions denouncing Gen. Gobin for ordering his men to tire on the striking miners who assault ed them, denouncing the Coal trust and pledging t]ie striking miners support and assistance. The com mittee to examine the records of legislative candidates seek ing re-election endorsed the fol lowing candidates: J. \V. Wayne (Dent.)Leliigh; Patrick Philbin. (Rep.) Lackawanna; R. W. Mc- Whinney( Rep. )Allcgheny; W. T. Creasy (Dem.) Collintbia: Jere X. Weiler (Soc) Carbon; Louis Marr, (Union) Phila.; .1. M. Hunter, [Dem.] Schuylkill: A. .1. Palm [ltem] was endorsed for Senator in Crawford district and Fred. A. Godcliarles ( Rep.) for Congress in the Seventeenth district. Pattison was endorsed for Governor because of the forty-live members present, about thirty were democrats and t lie majority outvoted the others." In this is shown the absence of the name of E. G. Rogers whom Scouten would have us believe is a friend to labor. These resolutions come from a body of representative citizens of whom a majority were democrats and are the final results of the deliberation and research of the leading labor organization of the state who have appealed to the Legislature for assistance and in consequence have learned their true friends and those pretending. This i nas a distinctive clearness of their I disapproval of E.G. Roger's doings in the legislature and shows that in him they got no assistance. This endorsement coming from the sour ce it does is highly appreciated by lion. Fred. A. Godcliarles and no greater compliment can be paid him. Scouten. Democratic Chairman, does not like ex-sheriff Osier and of course tries to be-little him. lie thinks that by saying that Sheriff Osier is running Dyer's campaign he will leave the impression that Mr. Osier will hurt Dyer and in this belittle Osier. He also hopes jto stir up any feeling there may be against Osier to harm Dyer. A scheme so apparent, cannot do any harm and the whole thing was bas ed on the fact that Sheriff Osier and "Albert Dyer met on the street in Dushore and shook hands. Al bert Dyer is capable and is run ning bis own campaign. The Herald says Albert Dyer is a good fellow but was nominated by a machine convention. Repub licans need not be fooled by such trash. Albert Dyers name was the only name before the convention. He had the unanimous vote of the convention and was every body's choice because he is a good fellow, the friend of the farmer, the labor er. the merchant and the profess ional matt, and Scouten k;iowsthis and fears him accordingly. Scouten is dowu on Christian. How long before he will be down on Christianity? He is pinched by the Commandment "Thou shalt not bear false witness againt thy neighbor."' John D.

WALT KK L. LOKAII, | 11. 11. HALT., Com. W. H. IIA/.kn, I THE LEAGUE OF CLUUS The Convention at Erie This Week and Some of Its Novel Features. The State League of Republican Clubs, which is holding its annual convention in Krie this week, is one of the most unusual gatherings of its kind ever assembled within the bor ders of the state. The attendance is larger, as indicated by the number of special trains engaged than ever be fore in the history of the league. The enthusiasm is greater because of the novelties that have been introduced into the campaign. Perhaps the most striking of these Is a great ball marked with Pennsyl vania's record of Republican patriot ism and carrying the pictures of Presidents McKinley and Roosevelt, Judge Pennvpacker and the Republi can candidates of this year, which 1s being taken to Krie on a special car p.rd from there is to he rolled back wards across the state to Philadel phia. The idea, which was evolved from the fertile bruin of a coanle of Philadelphia Republicans. Joseph M. Hilton and J. Hampton Moore, city treasurer of Philadelphia, is that nt the border of each county a number of Republicans representing that coun ty shall take the ball in charge, roll it along the highways to the borders of the adjoining county, where it will in turn pass Into other hands, and BO on through the state. It is expected that this novel spec tacle will attract thousands to the line of the ball's progress and excite universal enthusiasm among the He publicans of the state. Read This, Republicans. This contest is no mere local affair. It is national in its scope. A victory for Democracy in Pennsylvania would send a shiver along the spinal column of the Republican party of the United States. Twice lias Mr. Pattison been elected governor, and twice, at the suc ceeding national elections, has a Demo crat occupied the White House. We all remember with what dire results the last Cleveland administration was accompanied. We had the soup house where those who were turned from the doors of the closed mills were driven for food. The Inquirer opened dis tributing depots for bread, and for weeks yes. for months —the distri bution continued. This was what the folly of the people in electing a Demo cratic president made necessary. Could we look with confidence to a continuation of prosperity under a new Democratic administration? By no means. One experience of that dis mal sort is enougn. Then why invite disaster by turning" Pennsylvania over to the Democrats and sending a chili throughout the Union? —Philadelphia Inquirer.
